CAT – 1st Test
Australia v South Africa
Fri 9 Nov 2012, 12:00am GMT, 10:00am local
Match Drawn
| South Africa | 450 (151.4 ovs) & 166-5 (68 ovs) |
|---|---|
| Australia | 565-5d (138 ovs) |
Over 68. no runs. Bowler: James Pattinson. South Africa: 166/5(rr 2.44)
Pattinson to Philander. Out-swinging length ball, outside off stump no foot movement, shoulders arms to wicketkeeper for no runs, fielded by Wade. The teams have had enough, and agree to shake hands on a draw. All in all that's probably a fair result across the whole Test match, but South Africa will probably be the happier of the two sides, given the dominance Australia had over them during Day 4. In the end though, it counted for little as even a sublime double hundred from Michael Clarke couldn't prevent the game from meandering to a draw. On the final day, James Pattinson deserves great praise for his skill and aggression in fast bowling, while Nathan Lyon grew into the innings and did well to finish with figures of 2-41. That wasn't enough to dislodge the South African batting lineup, as Amla (38), Kallis (49) and de Villiers (29*) all served to frustrate the home side's attack. The 3 match series therefore remains all square and the two sides will resume battle at Adelaide next Thursday.

OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Lyon to Rudolph. Off break length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad. Australia have made a breakthrough. Just as the match seemed to be meandering towards its conclusion, Lyon has Rudolph trapped in front to pick up his second wicket.
